Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Working With Emotional Intelligence
Daniel Goleman · 1998
85/100
👍 Worth It
Goleman built the case that emotional skill shapes careers more than raw IQ, and this one backs it up with real workplace research and case studies rather than just vibes. Some academics push back on how measurable EQ really is, but as a foundational, influential read on emotional competence at work, it earns its reputation.
